I haven't heard too many details trickle in on this subject, but I chalk that up to it being summer and me being away from the school rumor mill. Anyone else heard about this? I heard it from a buddy of mine going through the academy. It's definitely happening, I just was wondering if anyone...
Dang, good to know! I'll tell her to stick to RN. Personally, I think she'd be better off as an RN not only in pay but in the whole happy with her job thing. Thanks for the info!
Hey guys :)
My wife and I are looking to relocate to Illinois once I graduate. I know my chances at Chicago FD are slim to nil, which is not a huge heartbreaker for me, but I wouldn't turn down a job there. However, I think we were looking for something more... suburban. She'll either be...
I agree. I can't necessarily complain because I want to continue. However, it's becoming more commonplace (here at least) for our FDs to look for EMT-B trained fire candidates. A while back they were talking about replacing EMSA and going to a fire-based EMS type of thing. I'm not sure whatever...
At OCCC, you pretty much get herded from the EMT-B program (one semester, 8 weeks) into the EMT-P program. They look at you crazy if you "just want your basic" lol. I went into it knowing I was continuing, but a couple of my friends from there are only doing it for their fire training.

I work about 45 hours a week dispatching, so I feel your pain a bit on that one and this is also what I'm looking to get into.
I've just finished my EMT-B, I start my EMT-P in a week. Then I'm bridging to RN, because it's only 9 more classes. By the time I finish the RN, I'll have at least 3...
Thanks guys! I was scheduled for 1745, but showed up about 20 minutes early. I was home by 1900. :/ I don't know if I rushed it - it didn't feel like I did. Anyhow, I'll have my fingers crossed for results sometime Weds night or Thursday morning :beerchug:
Aughhh lol mine kicked me out at 70 questions and it did seem to get more difficult as I progressed. <_< Damn. I guess I'll just sit down and wait my two days to find out *sigh*
I'm just starting my new 'lifestyle' if you will. Dispatching is terrible for anyone's body - just sitting... doing nothing, for 8 hours is horrifying.
I've decided to start getting to work a little earlier and dragging up some of the lighter free weights from the gym downstairs. I also...
Hey :)
I'm Liz, fresh to EMS but not so much to being a public servant. I've been police/fire dispatching for 7 years. Both cities I've worked for transferred direct to EMSA for any medical calls so I've not done any EMS dispatching.
I just got married in December to my lovely wife on the...
